You might think September 1st is a big day in the Eurovision calendar, but Ewan Spence wants to argue for today, August 31st, as a day to enjoy.
This week, our castaway on Ile de Bezencon is John Paul Lucas. He tells us how Ira Losco blew his mind in 2002, regales us with tales of near-death experiences at Eurovision parties and has issues with the concept of the ‘wrong sort’ of Eurovision fan.
Eurovision fans will know Bill Martin as the man behind ‘Puppet on a String’ and ‘Congratulations’. Ewan Spence talks in-depth with Martin about his Eurovision memories, his new book, and who would sing his song for Scotland.
It’s Lisbon! While fans may have thought it was a foregone conclusion, there’s been a lot going on Keith Mills looks at the politics and logistics of Portugal’s decision to host the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest in Lisbon.
The songs have been sung, the judges have judged and we have a winner of 2017’s inaugural Eurovision Choir of the Year. Lisa-Jayne Lewis takes a look back at the evenings’ programme and the variety of choral music on show in Arena Riga.
